Housing has not been explicitly discussed by Trump, but several news articles and interviews offer clues about how he might feel. Trump’s father, Fred C. Trump, was known for the affordable rental housing he built around New York City, though he was far from altruistic in his reasons for doing so. Donald, from what I can tell, has never built an affordable housing unit in his life.

Based on these, it doesn’t look good for affordable housing in the city for the next four years. But, the protests that have erupted in the days directly after the election suggest that progressives will not give up without a fight. ‘Don’t mourn; organize!’ and its variations have been a constant refrain in the days since this historic election. Now, more than ever, we need to be focused on solutions.

Over the next several weeks, I’ll be writing about strategies to safeguard the progress we have made on affordable housing and tactics for building momentum to secure the American dream of homeownership for those who still seek it.
